Hammock Lengths - Shorten or leave as is for kids?

Having two kids under 10, and dreaming of thawing snow and green trees in the mountains - I am looking at making hammocks for my kids. Seeing that most designs are starting off with approx 3.5yds, I question how this will feel to someone smaller? If made one, what was the rough/finished length. Was it worth the trouble?

This is with the assumption that mostly these will be a gathered-end hammock - no need for a footbox at this point

Whether its the "yard" hammock, or test firing the diy stuff, my kids always wanna have in on the action. Think of a full size for them as a jumbo for you. They seem to be real comfy where I have just enough room too.

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.
